Who We Are: A Passionate Global Team
We’re PiloNERDs International — a global community of researchers and enthusiasts, united by curiosity and a shared commitment to advancing understanding in our field. Our roots trace back to Europe, where a group of dedicated researchers—many of whom have spent decades in this work—joined forces to collaborate, learn from one another, and push the boundaries of what we know.
Now we are international – the World is our Home
